2026 Toyota RAV4. Vs current model.
Comparing the prototype 2026 Toyota RAV4 to the current model is pretty hard under all that camouflage. Previous photos suggested an all-new design. But this particular photo shows it could also be a heavy refresh of the recurrent generation. The glass area and A-pillar all seem very similar to the current RAV4. However, the rearview… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4. Vs current model.

2026 Hyundai Palisade.
Here are more, and especially better, photos of the new 2nd-generation Hyundai Palisade for 2026. Of course, many will compare its design with an older generation Range Rover. Just like some were comparing the 2024 Santa Fe to the Land Rover Defender. However, that mostly disappears when you see the Hyundai Santa Fe in person.… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Palisade.

Mercedes EV problem.
Mercedes has a big problem with their current EV lineup. While the top 2 images show what a future Mercedes compact EV sedan and SUV could look like, the 2 spy shots show what’s actually coming in the real world. And all I see is even more problems for Mercedes. While EV sales in the… Continue reading Mercedes EV problem.

2026 Hyundai Palisade.
Here it is, finally! The all-new second-generation Hyundai Palisade. I do think the new Palisade looks much better than most illustrations we have seen over the past few months. Even if these early photos aren’t the best. And 100 times better than the current generation. While the exterior is mostly what we expected, the front… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Palisade.

Cadillac EV pickup.
This is what is scientifically referred to as: “a no brainer”. A Cadillac version of the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra EV would be an obvious move for GM’s luxury brand. So obvious that I cannot really see it not happening soon. Cadillac already has the new Escalade IQ. A longer version of the IQ is also… Continue reading Cadillac EV pickup.

2026 Hyundai Palisade interior.
From what we can see in these photos, there is no doubt the interior design of the new 2026 Hyundai Palisade will be much more modern than the current generation. So far it’s hard to tell if it will actually be or feel more luxurious. Since the current one is already doing a pretty good… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Palisade interior.

2026 Toyota RAV4.
It seems all of a sudden, the new 2026 Toyota RAV4 is leaking. Over and over. These new spy shots show a design that is actually very different from the current generation. It seems that unlike what many have previously thought, the 2026 RAV4 will look all-new. I know these are fuzzy phone photos taken… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4.

2025 Honda Odyssey quick take.
The Honda Odyssey just got a few upgrades for 2025. Let’s see if they are actually improving the good old Honda Minivan. Outside, things are mostly the same except for a revised front end. Which does make the Odyssey a little bit smoother looking. The rear bumper has also been redesigned. These are very small… Continue reading 2025 Honda Odyssey quick take.

2026 Toyota RAV4.
The top image is supposed to show a prototype of the new 2026 Toyota RAV4. It shows a brand-new design that looks more like the new Toyota Crown Signia than the current RAV4. Which could be good news. But also compete against the Signia. Which doesn’t sound like such a great idea. A brand new… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4.

Carlos Tavares quits.
This is actually pretty shocking news since Carlos Tavares was supposed to stay at the head of Stellantis for another year. It will also affect many car brands around the world since Stellantis has no less than 14. According the Reuters, the Stellantis board ” including Chairman John Elkann, accepted the CEO’s resignation with immediate… Continue reading Carlos Tavares quits.

Future Toyota RAV4 video.
The short video above shows a few possibilities for a new Toyota RAV4 for the 2026 model year. Which is so far at least, still Toyota‘s plan. After a new Prius for 2204, and a not-so-new Camry for 2025, we’re supposed to see a new Toyota RAV4 for 2026, which means very soon. Back in… Continue reading Future Toyota RAV4 video.

2026 Toyota RAV-4 PHEV.
The illustration above shows what a next-generation 2026 Toyota RAV4 could look like. Something like this matches what some Toyota Execs had said a few months ago about the next generation not looking that different and using a “similar recipe”. Like the 2024 Land Cruiser or the new 2025 4Runner, back in 2018, the current… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV-4 PHEV.

Acura MDX A-Spec, quick take.
I just test-drove the top-of-the-line Acura MDX Type-S a few weeks ago, but was wondering what it’s like to drive the more affordable version soon after. Is the Type-S extra $7000 over a loaded A-Spec model worth it? It depends… Outside, the loaded A-Spec with the “Sport appearance package” looks quite similar to the Type-S.… Continue reading Acura MDX A-Spec, quick take.

2027 Cadillac Lyriq and more.
The first 2 images are supposed to show the all-new second-generation Cadillac Lyriq for 2027. The 3rd one is a previously posted illustration of what the next Lyriq could look like. These photos are part of a video from the Wall Street Journal from last month showing GM’s new design center. You can see many… Continue reading 2027 Cadillac Lyriq and more.

2026 Hyundai Palisade.
Most of us were hoping to see the real thing by now. I was also hoping to see the new Hyundai Palisade at the L.A Auto show. But I guess that was too much to ask. One new model (Ioniq9) is enough for one show these days. These recent illustrations look very close to the… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Palisade.

Los Angeles Auto Show video.
Today was the Auto Show press day in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, these things are never as fun or interesting as they were just a few years ago. The press event for the Auto Show is now reduced to just one day when it used to be 3. Far fewer new cars are unveiled. This year… Continue reading Los Angeles Auto Show video.

Hyundai Ioniq 9.
We finally get to see the full production version of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 EV SUV. After seeing the concept 3 years ago, and tons of spy shots and illustrations here it is. And as predicted, it looks very close to the concept. Except for the wheel arches that are now more circular, the sculpted… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 9.

Chevrolet Trax test drive coming up.
I have been driving around in a new Chevrolet Trax for a few days. I will soon post a full review. This is one of the best deals in town these days. The version I had the pleasure to drive is a 2025 Chevrolet Trax Activ, which comes with a 1.2 Liter Turbo engine and… Continue reading Chevrolet Trax test drive coming up.

Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Land Cruiser Compact. FJ Cruiser. Compact Cruiser. Who knows what name Toyota will give to their new smaller off-road-oriented SUV? But it’s coming. Toyota showed a small compact SUV concept in 2022 called Toyota Compact Cruiser EV. While the concept was an EV, the production version could end up being powered by Toyota‘s new Hybrid… Continue reading Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Acura ADX.
We have been waiting for years for a compact Acura SUV. And I must say, I am quite disappointed. We all knew the new small Acura would be based on the Honda HR-V and that’s actually OK. The HR-V is a fine compact SUV that drives and feels more upscale than it is. But I… Continue reading Acura ADX.
